Great to meet you!

Welcome, good to meet you! I believe that everyone has a unique story and I look forward to learning about yours and how I can support you in your next chapter. It's important to me that we communicate openly and that you feel respected in our relationship. I provide a warm and relaxed atmosphere bringing curiosity to our sessions to learn about your experience and goals. I believe that mental health is an essential part to our purpose, and wellbeing and I am here to work in partnership with you.

My approach to therapy

I use a holistic approach with clients exploring various parts of their experiences to identify the most effective modalities for each client. My experience includes a gentle and collaborative approach taking into consideration unique family dynamics, social and gender roles, trauma experiences, and how these relate to challenges that you are experiencing.

What you can expect from me

The first session will be to meet with you to gather information needed for treatment; we will identify your areas of need and decide on an initial treatment plan to meet your needs.
